Arrow keys don't work on Raspberry OS

[Burján Máté]

Hi, I'm probably not the first to ask this, it's just not very easy to find threads related to the text editor instead of the tilde character.

On Raspberry OS (10 Buster on Raspberry Pi 4 B, updates installed) pressing the arrow keys desn't do anything. Together with Ctrl, or Shift they work, but they don't work for navigation. The link https://os.ghalkes.nl/sources.list.d/raspbian10.list is broken, but I installed it following this tutorial.

On a virtual intallation of Xubuntu it works without problems.

Thank you for your help in advance.

The problem is typically the terminal (emulator) that is being used. To help diagnose this, I'd need some information about how your terminal:

- what terminal (emulator) are you using?

- what is the value of the TERM variable (run "echo $TERM" on the command line to find out)?

- are you using ssh or similar to work remotely?

- what output is produced when you run "cat" on the command line without any further arguments, and you press different keys like the cursor keys? (Press the control key + C to stop cat)

Cheers,
